following payoffs to investors next year:
State
Boom
Normal Economy
Recession
Dividend
$5
$2
0
Stock Price
$195
$100
0
The company goes out of business if a recession hits. Calculate the expected rate of return
and standard deviation of return to Leaning Tower of Pita shareholders. Assume for
simplicity that the three possible states of the economy are equally likely. The stock is selling
today for $90.
Note 1: The formulas for computing an expectation and a standard deviation of a random
variable can be found in Appendix 3 of Lecture 3.
Note 2: A return on a stock is defined as follows. Consider buying a stock at time 0 at price
Po and holding it between years 0 and 1. Next year's price is P, and next year's dividend is
D₁. Your return is
R=D₁ + (P₁-P₁)
P₁

Assume the required rate of return (i.e. equity holder's opportunity cost of capital) is 9.3 percent. Assuming this is the best information available regarding the future of this firm, what would be the most economically rational value of the stock today (i.e. today's "price")? Answer to 2 decimal places.arrow_forwardIf you look at stock prices over any year, you will find a high and low stock price for the year. Instead of a single benchmark PE ratio, we have a high and low PE ratio for each year. We can use these ratios to calculate a high and a low stock price for the next year. Suppose we have the following information on a particular company. Year 1 $ 62.18 40.30 2.35 a. High target price b. Low target price Year 2 $67.29 43.18 2.58 Year 3- $74.18 39.27 2.73 Year 4 $78.27 46.21 High price Low price EPS Earnings are expected to grow at 9 percent over the next year. 6. What is the high target stock price in one year? 32.16. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g.. b. What is the low target stock price in one year? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16. 2.890arrow_forward
